I'm in a total conundrum...

HELP...!!!!!!

A Reserve tickets will be good (they're the best on offer after all ) but there are a couple of things you might want to consider.

The thing that personally bothers me most about the Preferred Seating tickets is that they don't tell you where exactly they are. A Reserve tickets at shows here in Brisbane, for example, often range from the very front row to the very back at the floor. They're generally all fine seats, but it depends on what exactly you're looking for.

Although seating arrangements vary from show to show at the same venue, maybe have a look around on Ticketek/Ticketmaster for some similar shows (ie, all seated, but no weird love seats like Britney Spears) currently on sale for the venue you intend to go to to get an idea about where A Reserve might be. Given that Preferred Seating is also selling Rows 1 to 5 for higher prices, I imagine that tickets purchased through them listed as A Reserve will not be in the first 5 rows. On the other hand, I would imagine (though I'm not certain) that a handful of these seats will be available to the general public at regular prices through Ticketek.

My personal experience with Ticketek pre-sales has also been great in that I've come away with what I was after and sometimes a bit better (4th row for The Who ). I think your chances of getting an A Reserve ticket in the pre-sale (or even the general on-sale) would be quite good. Whether it will be a better A Reserve than one you buy through Preferred Seating though is hard to tell.

So, I suspect that actually wasn't much help to you at all. Sorry! I've never had so many ticket-buying options before, so I can certainly understand your predicament.

Good luck with whatever you decide, and I hope you have a blast. My first concert was Rod Stewart so I think you're off to a far better start than me .
